#2328. Moorish Window with Wrought Iron Elements: Neo-Moorish Facade with Horseshoe Arch

The image captures an elegant window executed in the Moorish style, a characteristic element of modernist or neo-Moorish architecture. The window opening features a horseshoe-shaped upper part (known as a "horseshoe arch"), typical of Islamic architecture, with a rounded top reminiscent of a keyhole.

The window opening is framed by a light-colored stone portal with a decorative header. Particularly noteworthy is the metal wrought-iron grille, demonstrating the high craftsmanship of early 20th century artistic forging. The grille consists of vertical elements with exquisite ornamentation in the upper and lower parts, including floral and geometric motifs. The upper part of the grille follows the contour of the horseshoe arch, creating a harmonious composition.

On either side of the window construction are two decorative stone brackets (consoles) with relief carving, likely representing stylized zoomorphic motifs. Also interesting is the small stone projection beneath the window, apparently serving as a decorative element complementing the overall composition of the facade.

The facade of the building is made of light-colored stone or plastered to resemble stonework, and has cracks indicating the age of the structure. This architectural detail represents a vivid example of the synthesis of European and Eastern motifs, characteristic of eclecticism or early Art Nouveau with Oriental influences.
